Black Ink only
Posted: February 19, 2009 | Author: Heather | Filed under: Baroque Motifs, One of a Kind |10 CommentsIt’s challenge #75 with Sharon at No Time To Stamp again and I had a ball with this one. The challenge was to use black ink only, no pencils, markers, chalks or coloured inks, just BLACK!
I have been doing some doodling related art lessons with my children lately so I thought I would do some doodling on my card. I used the flower stamps from Baroque Motifs and One of a Kind to create a row of flowers, then drew all my stems and leaves with a fineliner. I gave a few of the flowers rhinestone centres as well as adding a matted greeting. I punched out a red flower and a stamped black flower and layered them with stampin’ dimensionals to add to the greeting. To make the red lace at the bottom I used decorative edged scissors and a tiny whole punch.
I had a great time doodling and decorating this card, I think I will try a few more along the same theme. Make sure you check out all the design team’s ideas for this one.
